Fortunately, she’s got a group of friends that love sticking their noses where they don’t belong, and the crew sets out to help her solve the mystery.

Betting on lakefront property in Florida seems a sure thing. Adrian Wright hopes his purchase of Bubba's by the Lake near Gainesville will finally make him money, maybe enough to live his sailing dream. Wright is quickly recruited by powerful business leaders working with the University of Florida to develop a massive sports complex on conservation land near his restaurant and marina. Activist Parker Greenberg is determined to stop the project and expose the land speculators hiding behind a lucrative blind trust. Wright joins the opposition and finds himself in the sights of powerful business leaders, a corrupt newspaper, a politically connected pastor, and the law. Greenberg warns him of the dangers of vindictive girlfriends, unruly clients, trafficking, and other temptations that have ruined previous owners of Bubba's by the Lake. As the business slides, Adrian embraces them all. In a tangle of politics, money, and women, Adrian's feeble facade of financial success crumbles and he faces consequences far worse than Florida concrete and asphalt. Love, friendship, deception, and tragedy are the finale of this Florida tale.

Download or read book Life Traces of the Georgia Coast written by Anthony J. Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
